I noticed the end of my gutter in the yard after mowing the lawn
recently. How do I reattach to the gutter? Thanks in advance!

You can use a screw or silicone adhesive. Not much pressure on it.

Is there a recommendation for the type of adhesive? I was looking at
one of my other ends and it looks like it's held by both sheet metal
screws and adhesive.

If there is an existing hole, take it with you to the hardware store and
get the proper size screw. There are also many adhesives that will work
like the silicone used for bathtub caulk. I don't know a specific brand
but most any will work.

Make sure it doesn't degrade under UV light; find a good outdoor caulk
or roofing sealant.

That's most likely a sealant, not an adhesive (although many sealants
can be used as an adhesive).

Get some silcone caulk.

Generally they are "crimped" on and sealed with sealant. Sometimes
"pop" rivetted as well. That's what "I" would do, being I have a LOT
of small rivets left over from various projects - mostly "plane shaped
objects" built by friends.

Mine have screws, sheet metal self tappers, but if one comes out I do a pop rivet.

A pop rivet is fewer trips up and down the ladder for obvious reasons.

That's how mine are done. To repair, if you have the tools and it was riveted
I'd do that. No tools and it was riveted you can use sheet metal screws.
Just crimped on, then just use silicone sealant, which needs to be applied
anyway to make it water tight.

Just get the type screws it already has. I note that on my old gutters
they wemt through both sides and screw head shows but my new gutters
have attachments where screw is only visible from inside top of gutter.
Adhesives are not use for attachment but maybe to seal from leaks.
